In March 2018, China’s State Council announced a government reorganization aimed at improving efficiency and customer service in many parts of the Chinese government. The reorganization merged most of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) into the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC). This merger includes the integration of all former China Inspection and Quarantine (CIQ) offices located at Chinese ports into GACC’s existing import/export inspection structure. In early September 2018, the State Council published the “Regulations on the Allocation of Functions, Internal Bodies and Staffing of the General Administration of Customs,” which outline GACC’s organization and functions. The document also describes GACC’s responsibilities when interacting with other Chinese ministries. This report contains a summary of the regulations and an unofficial translation of the document.
